The 2000 United States presidential election in Wisconsin took place on November 7, 2000, and was part of the 2000 United States presidential election. Voters chose 11 representatives, or electors, to the Electoral College, who voted for president and vice president.
Wisconsin was won by Vice President Al Gore by a slim 0.22% margin of victory, a mere difference of 5,708 votes. Victories in Milwaukee County, where Milwaukee is located, and Dane County, where Madison is located contributed to his victory. This was the first time since 1988, and only the second time since 1960, that Wisconsin did not vote for the overall winner of a presidential election. This was the last time that Wisconsin voted to the right of neighboring Iowa. To date, this is the closest presidential margin of victory ever in Wisconsin. Wisconsin would also not vote more Republican than the nation as a whole again until 2016.
